Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 6, 2022

1. Overview

In order to optimize your user experience and our marketing initiatives, we use a variety of cookies on https://propercloth.com (the “Site”) and third-party sites. This page will explain what cookies we use and for what purpose, and provide instructions for you how you can opt-out of, or disable certain cookies.

2. What are Cookies?

“Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your hard drive by a Web server when you access our Site. We may use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies to identify that you’ve logged in to the Site and to tell us how and when you interact with our Site. We may also use Cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Site and to customize and improve our Site. Persistent Cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline. Unlike persistent Cookies, Session Cookies are deleted when you log off from the Site and close your browser. Although most browsers automatically accept Cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting Cookies. Please note, however, that if you don’t accept Cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of the Site. Some third-party service providers that we engage (including third-party advertisers) may also place their own Cookies on your hard drive. Note that this Privacy Policy covers only our use of Cookies and does not include use of Cookies by such third parties.

“Web Beacons” (also known as Web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Site for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Site, to monitor how many visitors view our Site, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).

3. Cookies used on our Site

The cookies we use on our website can be grouped into the following categories:

3.1 Essential Cookies:

Some of the cookies on our Site are essential for us to provide you with a service you have requested. An example of this would be a cookie that enables you to log into your account on the website, or one which allows communication between your browser and the website. Our cookie-preference cookie, described in the section ‘How to reject or opt out of receiving cookies’, is also an essential cookie. You may not be able to use our website without these cookies.

3.2 Website Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization such as enabling certain features such as the shopping cart and wish list. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but without these cookies, certain aspects of the Site may not function properly.

3.3 Website Analytics Cookies

These are analytics and research cookies that allow us to count visits and measure traffic, so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They also help us to know the number of different people visiting the Site, which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the Site. This helps us to improve our Site and improve user shopping experience. All information collected through these cookies will be processed in an aggregated and anonymous form.

3.4 Customer Preference Cookies:

When browsing or shopping online, these cookies enable the Site to remember your preferences (for example your user name, language or location). This improves your experience and makes your browsing simpler, easier and more personal to you.

3.5 Interest-based Advertising Cookies

When visiting other websites, you may notice that you are shown advertisements for products and services you may wish to buy. Like many businesses, we place advertisements for our Site on a range of third-party websites. However, to try and ensure that the advertisements you see are relevant to you, we use cookies to collect information about the types of things that interest you, for example websites you visit and your geographic location. Having these cookies does not increase the number of advertisements you will be shown, but simply makes the advertisements you see more relevant. In addition, they limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

4. How to Opt Out of Receiving Cookies

If you want to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, please refer to the help and support section on your internet browser for instructions on how to locate the file or directory that stores cookies.

Please note that our Site cannot always control third-party cookies stored on your machine from our Site and that setting your cookie preferences with us will not stop those third-party cookies from being stored on your machine. Therefore, you must manage these cookies directly with the relevant third party. Please see our 'Third party cookies' section below for more information.

More information on deleting or controlling cookies is available at https://aboutcookies.org. Please note that by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our site.
